@SaraLynne024: Love these, they are my Pinterest inspiration too!! I’m honestly not sure if I will get my nails done though! I’ve never gotten them done before…

@elysion: do it!!! You don’t have to get the acrylics ๐ just get a manicure on your own nails and have the design done ๐ although I will say I have acrylics and I have them do them super short and I live them !!

@elysion: Oh you definitely should!!! Its so relaxing and your nails look amazing after having them done. I have tried doing my own but they never look as perfect as when I get a manicure done. Acrylics can be annoying especially never having them done but the new shellac nails last longer than a manicure but are your own nails!

@SaraLynne024: @VermontBride13: Okay girls I think you convinced me… I’m fairly adverse to trying new things so I think I’ll make my Maid/Matron of Honor go with me to do a trial run soon!! XD

@MsPanda: i’m no help. my nails grow really fast but i don’t like long nails. i prefer my nails manicured and cut short with clear polish.
colored polish doesn’t last very long on me. :-/

Going back to the nails, when are you getting yours done? I was going to go Friday morning at a place near the venue. But just tried a new place near my house and they did a great job! I was already planning on getting my pedicure on Wednesday before the wedding so should I just get my gel manicure too???

@VermontBride13: We are getting Mani’s and Pedi’s this friday. I am wearing boots so the pedi will hold – but I think I am just doing my own on the day of…is that crazy? They will just be my natural nails with a natural color on top. I have new, cute Essy polish I adore. But then again my wedding and my style is super simple…
I would wait to get a nice manicure until the week of your wedding though…think of everything you will put your hands through until then…
It’s up to you though ๐

I’m getting a mani-pedi I think during my bachelorette party this weekend (not totally sure since its all a surprise but I was ordered to not go this week). The pedicure will hold for a week and if not I can touch it up. I also scheduled a manicure for the Friday before since I am notorious about chips, then they can touch up on Saturday if needed since its the same salon.
I think dark purple toes light purple fingers.

Not sure what I’ll do, my nails are short–smooth them and put on a pearlescent clear coat, maybe.
